Gracious Invitation

Isaiah 55:1-11

“The windows of heaven are open, The blessings are falling tonight; There's joy, joy, joy in my heart, Since Jesus made everything right; I gave Him my old tattered garment, He gave me a robe of pure white; I'm feasting on manna from heaven And that's why I'm happy tonight”.

Let us stop and turn our hearts toward Him for He will satisfy the desires of our heart.
